I took some time to convert the My Weather Suite from phpnuke to geeklog.

It still missing user defined configuration and i should make it as plugins.
But it does work for my needs as you can see on my site http://www.chmouel.org/.

You can find the tarball here :

I, at one time, had phpWeather working flawlessly on my site. i will probably get it working again but how does your weather software work? I'm assuming it uses METAR data, right? Also, can the user change the city is that on the to-do list? phpWeather provide current weather conditions (updated hourly) and you can do forecasts as well. Only down side is there isn't a one-to-one correlation between current weather feeds and forecast feeds (i.e. it's possible one city will have a current weather feed but no forecast feed. ----- The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

Humm i looked also to phpMYwheather but it didn't do what i want. This weather module use msnbc.com information which provide everything we want. Also things like if it's rainning/sunny etc... is much more easy to do with msnbc. The per-user option is not implemented, i should do it, but i'm a litle lazzy since i don't really i'll check that this weekend if it's easy to do..

I installed the weather module and like it a lot. It would be great if user can select the temperature measurement either Celsius or Fahrenheit or both.

I too am now getting this error - but only when I choose Detail. Otherwise it works fine. This occurs either from the main block view or in the "edit" screen. I had it all installed and working a few days ago. I was tweaking with display formating but that's working fine. I'm running FreeBSD 4.5 - Apache 1.3 - Mysql 3.23.47 - PHP 4.1.1 - Geeklog v1.3.2-1 I'm going to go back and check all the punctuation again. Any Ideas ?

The problem appears to be that, there are two functions with the same name in the files: - display_weather.php - detailed_weathers.php Specifically getweather() and get_from_msnbc(). Everything is fine when the block first comes up. Once you click on detail you get the duplicate declare error() I changed the names in detailed_weathers.php and it works again. I have been installing additional ports and modules so I suspect there is a config file in which a default was changed. This worked initially when I installed it. Blaine
